TERMINALS OF ECU

1. CHECK POWER STEERING ECU


HINT:

As connector z8 uses a lock lever, each terminal cannot be checked while the connector is still connected to the power steering ECU.

Terminal No. (Symbol)

Terminal Description

z8-1 (V)

W

V phase motor output

z8-2 (U)

B

U phase motor output

z8-3 (W)

R

W phase motor output

(a) Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

NOTICE:

When the P/S warning light is illuminated during a malfunction, the fail-safe function may cause the voltage of the power steering ECU terminals to become 0 V.
